Honk Honk! Dealing with Geese
|
WORD COUNT: 414
Rumors were spreading like Wildfire. Was it really true? There were geese in Hogwarts? For a first year, AND he didn't get to learn any spells yet, as he was on his way to Defense Against the Dark Arts, of course. But yet, he heard honking. Quite familiar, actually. It was like Muggle Transportation when they got angry or was bored in traffic. But no, there wasn't vehicles in Hogwarts, or on the grounds. Right?
Immediately, the male student noticed a few students chasing several geese, one or two was casting Reparifarge, on a geese? Wasn't that the untransfiguration spell? He followed them, staying behind by several feet, A first year seemed to be tackling the geese, or attempting to. It was funny to watch, as Cody snickered. Quickly realizing his mistake for sneaking around, he hurriedly tried to run away without making a noise in the corridors. He hid in the Classroom, slamming the door shut, but didn't lock it.
Sure enough, those wretched, flying, honking beasts were everywhere. How did we get so many birds, specifically one that makes too much noise. Oh lord have mercy, Cody was starting to have a temper, it was quite famed in the House of Steventons. It supposedly came from Cody's mom's mother. She was one who would get mad if there were ANY noise in the room, or even if it was on the street. She was always so on edge, she would growl if a pen touched the ground, or a feather. She was that strict, and she would've done something to these geese now.
The muffling charm would have been extremely useful, but its too bad that the boy doesn't know any spells or potions. He had to miss out on Defense Against the Dark Arts it seemed, and the boy was grumbling. Rumors were going around, saying that you would learn Verdimillious, and Periculum. They were also supposed to learn about IMPS. But nooo, he had to figure out how to get by the geese, or take them down.
Why were the other kids using Reparifarge? There had to be a reason. Maybe they knew something the boy didn't. Maybe the geese were tranfigured objects. Rumors were, once something is transfigured, its atoms change, and it mutates. But even if the boy was wrong, he was going to ask Professor Wade.
He looked around, there were approximately seven geese in this room, which apparently had one other person in there. A female.

Honk Honk! Dealing with Geese
"OMG GEESE!!!" Juniper shouted.
How did she get here? Well... just 10 minutes ago, she was walking down what she had thought was an empty corridor. She was shoving goodies in her mouth from lunch. She hadn't had enough time to finish it all, so she loaded her pockets with brownies, cookies, everything. Probably wasn't the best idea, but just because she was in Ravenclaw didn't make her an Einstein.
Along the way, she had dropped crumbs from her sloppy eating, possibly feeding the lost rats that belonged to students. With her chocolate-covered hands, she took a bite from a cookie and stopped in her steps. "What in the world is that?"" She had asked. She had heard honking. Not like honking from a car, that would be SO weird to have a car INSIDE.
No, honking like geese! Because, you know, that's totally much more normal than a car inside. She wasn't sure she had been imagining it, so she held her hand over her pocket protectivly. Not because her wand was in there, her wand was in her other pocket. No, she covered the pocket with the treats.
That must of been why they were here. Obviously they invaded the school for the treats, she couldn't blame them. She turned around, and headed to the nearest classroom, and found some prefects. She quickly wiped her hands, she wasn;t sure if taking treats from the great hall was okay.
She soon learned that she could get chocolate frogs for getting those geese. CHOCOLATE FROGS. "I WILL CATCH THE MOSTEST BIGGEST AMOUNT OF GOOSES!" She said excitedly, before running down the corridor.
She threw crumbs around her like confetti, yelling "Here, goosy goosy!!! I'm not trying to trick you I promise!! Let's have a tea party!" Yes, she was very convincing.
Her convincing words must of done the trick, for she was surrounded by so many geese in no time. Now that she was surrounded, she gulped. But the flashing thought of chocolate frogs got her.
"Listen, here geese. You running around this school is between me and chocolate frogs. So we can do this the easy way or the hard way. And I AM VERY SCARY" She glared at the geese, who honked in her face.
"FINE hard way it is!" She huffed. She undid her Ravenclaw tie and tied it around her head like a ninja. "CHARGE!!!!!! Oh-hi!"
In the middle of her running, she saw a boy. "WAIT you're the smart wand guy from the boat!!! I was just about to tackle these geese... wanna join in?" She asked.
She eyed the geese anrgily. "Nothing is stopping me from chocolate frogs!"

"CHARGE!" The small boy heard the girl scream, turning, he looked concerned.
"We- We're in a classroom! Why would you yell?" Cody whispered, harshly. "And don't tell me that the Geese are the reason as to why you are yelling."
-----Fast forward to the classroom-----
"JUNIPER! I- remember you! Um. Lets try to chase the uh- geese. Before I think of ways to muffle them. They are getting onto my nerves, and I'm tired of them." Following that, the boy got off of his balls of the feet that he was rocking on, the feeling of relaxation fell over him. The dread was washing away.
He tugged on his shorts he was wearing. He was heading to a class, but apparently, he didn't want to put on his robes until he reached the classroom itself. Well, he was in a classroom, just not for Defense Against the Dark Arts.
He looked up to the ceiling, groaning. He had to deal with geese, and he was not motivated to do so. Geese were supposedly the worst birds he'd ever come across. Traumatizing memories appeared of what Freddy, his twin, did to him. He was six years old, still lived in Boston Massachusetts. His twin was doing it for laughs in front of all of his friends at a sleepover campout, and well, Cody was humiliated. What his brother did, was spread peanut butter on his forehead while he slept, and sprinkled on bird seed.
Then he apparently dragged out Cody. (cody was light, so it was completely possible) The birds flew down and pecked at his forehead until he awoke, bird eyes facing him. He shrieked, feeling bumps on his forehead, and the stickiness of Peanut butter on his forehead. Oh, but Freddy was laughing. Making him at fault.
Cody stormed inside, ashamed of how his friends would see him. That was why Cody despised birds in general, however, he wasn't scared of them.
He snapped back to reality, again seeing the geese and hearing the annoying sounds the birds made. He picked up a chair from a desk nearby, and ran towards one of the plump geese. The geese ran, making the horrible, most annoying, and gruesome, honking sounds he has ever heard. It reminded him of a train horn, plus a whole bunch of helium. In time, he jumped down, and squished the Geese.
"That is how you do it. This is how a PRO does it. Mrs. Juniper." Cody stated, in a attempted British accent, seeing as he was from Boston Massachusetts.

Juniper blinked at the young boy, possibly the only person in the school who matched her height. She liked the fact that she didn't have to look up at him, for that got annoying after a while, mind you. Everyone at the school was an average height, except these two. Short buddies! She frowned at the boy. "I'm yelling because It's MY BATTLE CRY!" She said, hands on her hips. "Cody." She added, just to prove she did, in fact, know his name.
"I CAN YELL WHEN I WANT CODY" She said, yelling to prove it. "But yes, the geese is part of the reason I'm yelling. BUT OH WELL" She said, eyeing the geese that had finally noticed that these two students were about to chase them.
She knew fairly well the term: wild goose chase" and she could only hope this wouldn't be much of one. Okay, let's be honest. She did. Tackling the geese seemed fun, chasing them was fun, anything wild was fun. "Wow! YOU REMEMBER ME! good job!" She said teasingly. She cracked her nuckles. "I say we tackle them!!!!" She said eagerly.
She remembered all the times she had to run in baseball. "WE CAN CHASE THEM UNTIL THEY'RE TIRED" Yes, this would work. Because they themselves would never ever get tired.
She watched the geese run for there lives... or hop away... honking like the annoying birds they were. Yeah, very annoying. She took off after them. "GET BACK HERE YOU" She called, hoping Cody was following.
They entered a classroom where the geese had ran from them. "Ah HA!!!!" She said, leaping into the doorway. "Wa- wait- Cody what the fudge- wha?" She watched him take a chair and charge. "OMG YOU KILLED IT!"
She had no time to scream, though. There were more geese. She charged at one, wrapping her arms around the bird as she pecked at her. "AHHHH!"
She kicked the bird, and it slid across the floor. It jumped on her, trying to peck her eyes. She covered her face with one arm, and slapped the goose with the other. "BADY GOOSY"
She reached for the neck, and held down it's wings. "HA! GoTCHA!

The boy screamed, noticing a wing sticking out from under his stomach. He killed a goose, it seemed. But this still didn't explain why the kids earlier were using a untransfiguration spell, as reparifarge.
It was terrifying, as his heart thudded. He killed a goose, out of the seven geese in the room, he had to kill one. Not taking it back to wherever it came from, but downright squishing it. He didn't think he was that heavy, but maybe the geese truly were that weak.
He let out a battlecry. "ALOAULOULOULOULOUALO!"
Perhaps he could make a plump goose in the kitchen as a treat to share with Juniper. "Hey... Hey Page. You seemed to love being a Ravenclaw, so yet, I'm calling you Page. Ravenclaws read, and books have Pages. Call me whatever you want. I don't care."
He smiled, his eyes suddenly crashed with an emotion. Again, that memory surfaced, causing him to blank out for a minute.
Several minutes passed, he regained consiousness. Cody ran around the room, thinking that maybe the Geese weren't actually real animals, but perhaps furnature or something, as if when you jump onto a couch, you could snap something in it.
"PAGE. JUST KILL IT. WE CAN'T CHANGE IT BACK TO WHAT IT WAS. KILL IT. KILL THE GEESE. We could just bake it in the kitchen, and give it back to whoever transfigured this monstrosity." Cody stated, half jokingly, with a hint of a frown and a smile on his face.
The boy smiled. He jumped on the third goose he came across in that room. They were coming down quickly as it seemed. But no, there was not the sound of crunching or any blood being shown. There was none of that. It was instead, just a flattened goose.
I hope this goose tastes good flattened. Otherwise, I'll ask Professor Freshnel if we could use it for Parchment Paper.

Honk Honk! Dealing with Geese
Juniper stared in horror at Cody.. oh, cody, the goose murdered who had fkattened a goose without a second thought about it. Sure, it used to be a chair or something, but for some time, it had a life. Until it was squished.
SPLAT.
"YOU TURNED IT INTO A PANCAKE!" She yelped, tears sprining to her eyes. "It could of found love, Cody, even if it was a chair! But now... it's DEAD! SPLAT! GONE! FLAT! DEAD DEAD DEAD!" She wiped her eyes. She was distracted, holding a goose in her arms. She slapped it in the head to knock it out, and another goose attacked her from behind, grabbing her air. "EIYYYYYYYY" She yelped, stumbling backwards.
She kicked the goose off of her, distracted one again. BUT IM NOT PAPER! Fine!" She snapped, punching a goose angrily. "GEROFF MEEEE!" She sent it sliding across the floor.
"I
ll CALL YOU Dorkasaurus CAUSE YOu're A DORK... ASAURUS!" She yelled.
NO No NO no NOOOOOOOOO" She said, tumbling to the ground under geese, spitting out feathers.
"I REFUSE TO KILL THEM!" She yelled. " IF THEY WERE SEATS, PEOPLE BPUT THEIR BUTTS ON THEM AND I DON'T WANT TO EAT THAT!" She said, knocking two geese on the head.
"Take that! AND THAT! ANNNNDDDD THAT!!!" She said, throwing her arms around randomly, hoping she hit the geese. She doubted if they were dead she would get chocolate frogs, because, well, you can't have flat chairs.
"Don't kill them, silly!!! We need to return them in one piece! NOT a pancake!!" She argued, grabbing the geese and huffing. Her hair was a mess, with feathers. She had scratches on her face and arms, but she had a crazy grin.
dont mind me, just wrapping it up

Honk Honk! Dealing with Geese
The boy, Cody, stifled his laughter. Truly, he was a bit ashamed, and who could deny that. If they wanted Chocolate Frogs, they had to do something smart, like return it to the cursed creators of these waves of beasts. Or, their second option was to figure out how to switch them back to normal. Back to when they were chairs, couches, tables, lamps, and what not.
He groaned, still partially covering his mouth. He had to laugh. Maybe he could bring the squished geese back to whoever did this. By then, they should be able to get their rewards.
"I KNOW YOU ARE NOT PAPER, BUT YOU SURE SEEM TO LIKE THEM." Cody screamed, gripping his flattened geese and stacking them up. There was two left in the room, and so he handed Juniper the flattened geese and advised that she could write an apology letter on it for flattening it.
He spotted a geese on one of the desks and ran as fast as he could, as fast as his tiny legs would allow him to do so, and he jumped onto the desks, climbing across the desks, in a military form, and he grinned slightly maliciously. He had to avoid squishing the little winged monstrous beasts, and so he did so. He used his wand and threw it at the geese. It missed.
He scramble off the desk, jumping back on to tackle the goose, and picked up his wand.
"I think I got them all, if there is any more, lets allow the other people, or the professor to switch it back to normal." The boy said, smiling. They were on their way back to the man who started this whole issue.
